TWENTY-NINTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
MARK 10:35-45James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to Jesus and said to him,
"Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask of you."
He replied, "What do you wish me to do for you?"
They answered him, "Grant that in your glory
we may sit one at your right and the other at your left."
Jesus said to them, "You do not know what you are asking.
Can you drink the cup that I drink
or be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized?"
They said to him, "We can."
Jesus said to them, "The cup that I drink, you will drink,
and with the baptism with which I am baptized, you will be baptized;
but to sit at my right or at my left is not mine to give
but is for those for whom it has been prepared."
When the ten heard this, they became indignant at James and John.
Jesus summoned them and said to them,
"You know that those who are recognized as rulers over the Gentiles
lord it over them,
and their great ones make their authority over them felt.
But it shall not be so among you.
Rather, whoever wishes to be great among you will be your servant;
whoever wishes to be first among you will be the slave of all.
For the Son of Man did not come to be served
but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many." -
Fr. kevin's corner
Greetings in the Lord…
Change is a bit of a challenge for all of us. With every transition comes both uncertainty and opportunity. I take this opportunity to introduce myself and hopefully ease some uncertainty.
I am Fr. Kevin Gualano (please call me
Fr. Kevin). I grew up in the Lehigh Valley and I have a younger sister and brother. I am a graduate of Easton Area High School and during which I volunteered at Suburban Rescue Squad as an EMT
I have a B. S. is in Physical Chemistry, from Gannon University, with a minor in
Psychology. After college, I worked a few years at Dun & Bradstreet where I wrote
financial programs. I graduated from St. Charles Borromeo Seminary with an M.A. in Pastoral Theology and recently I was sent for further studies where I earned a Master of Science in Church Management from the
Villanova School of Business.
I have been ordained for 14 years during when I served as an Assistant Pastor at the Cathedral of St. Catharine of Siena and St. Joseph the Worker Parishes. I then served as the Chaplain of Bethlehem Catholic High School, and then as the Newman Chaplain of both Muhlenberg and Moravian Colleges.
I enjoy hiking, bicycling, skiing, and a really good rain storm.
I am extremely happy and excited to be
appointed your Administrator of Most Blessed Sacrament Parish. I look forward to this great journey of faith, that the Holy Spirit has gifted us.
May God Bless you,
Fr. Kevin
